Chili Time

I don't know about you, but I woke up this morning with 48 degree weather(please HELP)! The only way I could combat this tragedy was with some good ole homemade chili. As the leaves begin to fall off the trees, and the flowers stop blooming, it's time to warm yourself up with some hearty chili. So without further ado, here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 green bell pepper (chopped)

3 medium yellow and red bell peppers (chopped)

3 cloves of garlic (minced)

1 1/2 white onion (chopped)

1 can of black beans

1 can of pinto beans

2 cans of great northern beans

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes

1 can of whole corn

1 can of mushrooms (or just slice 5 mushrooms)

Olive oil

Chili powder

Cumin

Turmeric

Garlic powder

Salt

Pepper

Oregano

Basil leaves

Paprika

Sugar

Directions:

1. Chop up the bell peppers, garlic and onions. Place olive oil in a large pot and warm on medium-high heat.

2. Place garlic, onions, and bell peppers in the pot at medium-high heat for approx. 2 minutes. Add a dash of salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, turmeric, paprika and chili powder.

3. Stir in black, pinto, and great northern beans, tomatoes, corn and mushrooms. Add more salt, pepper, garlic power and chili powder. Also, add a dash of oregano, basil leaves, and sugar to taste.

4. Let it simmer on medium heat for approx. 20 minutes. Stay close and stir occasionally to keep it from burning.

5. Once it starts thickening to your liking (or starts sticking to the bottom) turn the heat off and take it off the eye. Allow it to sit idle for approx. 5 minutes.

6. Add your own toppings (Vegan cheese, avocado, hot sauce, vegan sour cream etc.)

Enjoy!
